AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2005 Bigdog has 16 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 2,317 miles. This makes the vehicle's true condition and reliability impossible to assess.
The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing only 1,375 miles over 21 years, with a critical decrease of 27,956 miles between Jul 2021 (27,981 mi) and Apr 2023 (25 mi).
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jul 2021 (27,981 mi) and Apr 2023 (25 mi) — possible odometer tampering.
- Mileage decreased by 27,956 miles between Jul 2021 (27,981 mi) and Apr 2023 (25 mi).
- Total mileage of 1,375 miles over 21 years is extremely low and unexplained.
- First MOT test on 2019-10-01 failed, but no defect details were provided by DVSA.
Working in its favour
- Vehicle has a valid MOT until 2027-04-26, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No dangerous defects or major failures are recorded in the MOT history.
- The single 2019-10-01 failure was immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
- The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, annual mileage pattern since 2019.
